Patricia and her excellent team of psychologists and psychiatrists will provide you with the help you need. Each person has a different personality, personal and family background, needs and goals. You deserve to get the best care. We take your needs very seriously. Asking for help is often times not easy. Many of us have not felt listened to, emotionally understood, protected, loved… We will offer you warmth and help you to reach your goals. Emotions are encrypted in our native language. Therefore, we will offer you (as much as possible) to do therapy in your own language. Having lived in the United States for 23 years, Patricia has a command of English and of course, Spanish (i.e., she was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina). She is also fluent in French and has an intermediate level in Italian and Portuguese.
Our professional team is trained not only in Schema Therapy but also in other evidence-based psychotherapies (e.g., cognitive-behavioral therapies, compassion focused therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy). In addition to individual psychotherapy, you can also choose to do couples or group therapy. We will help you decide which therapeutic modality is most appropriate for your situation.
Unless you have a current crisis that requires immediate attention, we will begin with a thorough assessment that will help us to understand your problem and your specific needs. This will not take long since we have self-report questionnaires based on Schema Therapy and other psychotherapeutic models.
We know that you may have done other therapies before and that you may have been disappointed. You may have felt “stuck” in those therapies and believe you made no significant progress or experienced significant changes. Our model does not provide “magic solutions” but can lead to reaching your goals faster than you think. Schema Therapy is an integrative model based on rigorous scientific studies. Working with a trained and caring schema therapist will enable you not only to understand intellectually what has been happening to you but also to have a more enjoyable life. To achieve these goals, we will create a warm and supportive therapeutic relationship and use cognitive, experiential and behavioral approaches. These effective schema therapy strategies will always be based on a clinical conceptualization that takes into account your personal and family background, goals and cultural context.
Our fees are reasonable and we will do our best to adapt them to your financial possibilities. We know that seeking help is not an easy thing to do, but all of us sometimes need to get professional because we realize that we cannot cope on our own. It is important for us to accept this valid human need. Hopefully your wise, self-compassionate, self-protective, strong and wise Healthy Adult Mode can encourage you to seek to meet the need of getting good, caring and effective help.
We can help you. We hope you contact us quickly so you can start your journey to have a more enjoyable life…
Warmly,
Dr. Patricia and Team
